abstract = {The Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex), as an electrical analog to
the stretch reflex, allowselectrophysiological validation of
the integrity of neural circuits after injuries such
asspinal cord damage or stroke. An increase of the H-reflex
response, together withsymptoms like non-voluntary muscle
contractions, pathologically augmented stretchreflex, and
hypertonia in the corresponding muscle, is an indicator of
post-strokespasticity (PSS).In contrast to rather
nerve-unspecific transcutaneous measurements, here, we
presenta protocol to quantify the H-reflex directly at the
ulnar and median nerves of theforepaw, which is applicable,
with minor modifications, to the tibial and sciatic nerveof
the hindpaw. Based on the direct stimulation and the
adaptation to different nerves,the method represents a
reliable and versatile tool to validate
electrophysiologicalchanges in spasticity-related disease
models.},
